Everyone in South Africa will “belong to the ages” once the jihad starts there — with Obama’s support and blessing. Thanks Biggirl.

Nelson Mandela is a creation of the world wide media. He was thug and the fruit of his practices is a stain on the world. Look at South Africa it is a disgrace.
To: Biggirl
Classic Obama. Let us take a moment to remember Mandela with a photo of me.

True. Some people, though, heard Stanton's comment as "Now he belongs to the angels."
